Installation Guidelines on the individual connection types
5.3 Guidelines on the individual connection
types
The following section contains guidelines that should be observed with regard
to the individual connection types or references to related documentation.
5.3.1 Connecting via TCP/IP LANs
MT9750 supports the TCP/IP protocol stacks of the following products:
– LAN1 Pro V5.0
– Windows 95
– Windows NT 4.0
You can connect your PC to a local network with one of these products. Infor-
mation on how to install these products on your PC can be found in the LAN1
software from Siemens Nixdorf or in the Windows documentation from Micro-
soft.
Mapping names to IP addresses
To address the host using symbolic names, the TCP/IP host names must either
be mapped to host IP addresses in the file lmhosts (e.g. <Windows direc-
tory>:\System32\drivers\etc\lmhosts) or (generally) on a name server. This
depends on the configuration of your network. You can however also access the
host directly via the corresponding IP addresses. In this case you do not need
an lmhosts file.
Connecting via a WAN using ISDN-Connect
In addition to the integration of PCs in a LAN, there is an increasing need to con-
nect individual PCs beyond the scope of the local network. Typical examples of
this are the networking of individual PCs in branch offices or laptops for field
workers. ISDN-Connect (included in LAN1 from Version 3.0B on) allows
MT9750 to communicate with BS2000 via wide area networks (WAN). The fol-
lowing transmission variations are offered:
– TCP/IP via ISDN
– TCP/IP via DATEX-P (X.25)
– TCP/IP via GSM (D-Network)
